We have commented on this project on two previous occasions and copies of the letters are enclosed. <br /> In addition to our previous comments,we would like to add these additional comments: <br /> 1. It is good to see that snow storage is being planned for Silver Lake Estates. However, it should be <br /> emphasized that the snow should not be stored in the wetland within the open space. Snow that has been <br /> in parking lots contains solid particles that will fill in the wetland and chemical pollutants that will • <br /> negatively impact the plants and animals that live in the wetland. The snow should be stored within the <br /> sediment ponds,which will decrease the amount of solids and chemicals that will eventually reach the <br /> wetland. <br /> 2. We commend the city and developer for preserving the wetland and its surrounding vegetation as open <br /> space. We believe that the occupants of the office buildings and senior housing complex will place great <br /> value on the wetland area. <br /> Thank you again for requesting comments from us for Silver Lake Estates. Please contact me at 772-7910 should <br /> you have questions. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> �;i;1 1 <br /> Joe Richter <br /> Hydrologist <br /> JRJcds ► DITTO T I <br /> it <br /> Enclosures: July 31, 1997 letter +i I NOV 2 , 1°2'7 !l <br /> jIl <br /> 1r <br /> August 12, 1997 letter i....1..
